    Infants at high and low likelihood for autism show different EEG developmental trajectories in speech tracking and statistical learning

    Michel Godel, Ana Fló ... Marie Schaer
    In an auditory statistical learning experiment, infants at high likelihood for autism showed reduced neural entrainment to syllables, atypical developmental trajectories for word segmentation, and diminished novelty orientation to words.

    Enhanced tactile coding in rat neocortex under darkness

    Kotaro Yamashiro, Shiyori Tanaka ... Yuji Ikegaya
    Temporary darkness enhances the neural separability of tactile textures in the rat somatosensory cortex, revealing how sensory coding rapidly adapts to the absence of vision.
